Without a naturalistically grounded standard of chromatic correctness independent of any particular observer class, the primitivist's realism collapses into an undefended indexical preference.

Primitivist(in philosophy of color): A philosopher who believes that color is a basic, fundamental property of objects themselves—not just a trick of our eyes or brains.
chromatic correctness(what the debate is about): The idea that there's a right or wrong way to describe colors—for example, whether something is truly 'red' or just appears that way to you.
independent of any particular observer class(describing what a true standard would need to be): Not dependent on how any specific group of beings (like humans, or creatures with certain types of eyes) happen to perceive something.
indexical preference(what the argument warns the primitivist's position reduces to): A choice or standard that only makes sense from a particular point of view or perspective, rather than being universal; like saying 'this is good for me' rather than 'this is objectively good.'
